The poll is designed as a recurring, nationally representative household survey of U.S. adults, which allows assessment of issues in a timely fashion. Launched in spring 2017, the NPHA is modeled after the highly successful University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health. The NPHA grew out of a strong interest in aging-related issues among many members of the University of Michigan Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation (IHPI), which brings together more than 600 faculty who study health, health care and the impacts of health policy. IHPI directs the poll which is sponsored by AARP and Michigan Medicine, the University of Michigan academic medical center.This project represents the second wave or fielding of NPHA in October 2017. This is a new sample of participants and cannot be joined or merged with the data from NPHA Wave 1.

Weights should be applied to interpret population-level rates. See user guide for additional information about the weights. The main survey completion rate for respondents ages 50-64 was 70%.
